like a 62-0'"
That was a virus that caused that score.
Believe all is well down there if you wish, but it's not, the difference is plain to see. It does not mean when you are not playing for a coach or there is a lot of unrest you will throw games by 60 points, it just mean you are not as together and as motivated, team spirt is severely affected and it shows on the field, no one is saying they are throwing games intentionally. It happens in football all the time and in other sports, when they lose respect for the coach or there is little team spirit, performances plummet.
We did not see blow out scores in the reign of John Sharpe until Catalans away, but the players hated him, he thought he was billy big balls and they stopped playing for him, what happened the year after he left, we were a different team. That all came from E.C mouth to me, anyone who knows him can ask him, but it's a well known fact anyway.
I hope I am wrong and they turn into world beaters again, but I won't hold my breath.
